Block-breaking Shanghai Accommodation For The Shaolin Martial Arts Festival

Share:    

A trip to see one (or more) Shaolin martial arts festivals while visiting China is

as mandatory as checking out the Great Wall, The Bund, the Jade Buddha Temple ... and eating fried rice! Over the course of the massive Shaanghai Expo held over the middle months of the year in Shanghai, you can also catch an amazing daily Shaolin Martial Arts display. You can see Shaolin boxing displays, watch as 'hard qigong' techniques make parts of the monks' bodies invincible to swords and knives ... and even get a few secrets from them in a conversation after the show. If you want to take advantage of this unique opportunity to see 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' style skills in real life, you'll want to know about these nearby Shanghai economy hotels and accommodation in Shanghai!

Jinjiang Inn Shanghai hotel chain has branches all over Pudong District, where the Shanghai Expo will be held. The Shanghai economy hotel chain has a reputation for being excellent value for money - rooms here have everything you need and nothing that you don't. Staff are happy to assist with travel ticket bookings, and there are free on-loan amenities, a delicious fresh coffee machine and fresh, tasty traditional food on offer on the hotel site. If watching all those knife and sword displays makes you hurt in sympathy, you can also get a massage in room at some Jinjiang Inns, and grab a spa or sauna afterwards. There are around half a dozen Jinjiang Inn Shanghai hotels within an easy taxi ride or short trip on public transport from the Expo Center. The Shanghai Expo branch is closest - and is also one of the more budget-friendly options!

The Westin Bund Center is a Shanghai hotel that's definitely not in the economy range, but does have quite a few extra services and plenty of luxuries. It is certainly spectacular to look at, with a cantilevered glass staircase, color-changing fiber optic lights, and 40-foot palm trees in the lobby. The beds here are known as some of the best in Shanghai - they feature foot-thick pillowtop mattresses, down blankets and triple sheeting. There's a Banyan Tree Spa on-site, and when you've had enough of watching amazing monk-style acrobatics and martial arts, The Bund is only a short stroll away from your Shanghai hotel room.

The Regent Shanghai was recently re-branded to the Longemont Hotel in Shanghai, but it retains that olden-style comfort and opulence. Again, it is not as good value as the Jinjiang Inn economy hotels in Shanghai- you pay for the privilege of having a full-service health spa, steam room and pool facilities, as well as 24-hour room service, a gym and laundry service on site. If you're happy to explore the city a little as you go from this Shanghai hotel in Changning district to the Expo Center, it is a great hotel choice for Shaolin enthusiasts.
